I don't actually read it: I also watch it scroll and pick up a few symbols here and there that allow me to figure out if things are going smoothly or not. When it doesn't scroll, the first screen is filled immediately with text that I generally don't care about (most build procedures I use seem to start with a lot of "boilerplate output"), so I have to scroll manually to see the rest. Of course, using C-x ` will jump to the interesting spot in either case. Has someone tried to use my new compilation-auto-jump-to-first-error? It stops the scrolling as soon as the first error is spotted. Stefan
